[QUOTE="CUZ, post: 407715, member: 4301"] Buyers (to me) are an enigma wrapped in a mystery. I'll take what I think is a good looking calf and it won't do as well as the crappy calf that sells before it. I mentioned this one time to the girl who helps clerk and she said she gets that a lot. She said someone will get the low end and wants to know why. In a few cases the guy who is bidding up and buying all of that type calf got up and went to the bathroom when yours came in the show ring, or he got a call or any number of things that caused that calf to not bring what others were. Of course this assumes that all other things were equal. We took several some months ago. The red calf with the 666 ear tag brought more than any of the others, most of whom were black, and black does the best at our salebarn, but I didn't think it was the best calf in the load. Made me wonder if it was his number and they wanted to mess with the boys who would be handling it. Cuz [/QUOTE]
